Plot
There are two types of beginnings for the episodes: a regular one, which begins with a happy start, or the main scene where something awful has happened to the main character. If the latter choice where to happen, the credits depicting who edited, starred, and directed the episode come out during the second scene.
Some of these people, being devout to the Virgin of Guadalupe, asks her to protect that person. At the same time, a white rose appears before an altar or statue of the Virgin that belongs to the person who prayed or is in trouble and remains there during the development of the story, which is usually when the problem is compounded. The appearing of the rose appears means that the petition has been heard.
At the climax of the story, which is the time where the main character is in a serious situation, the closest person "asked" intercedes for him and tries to help. When the issue is resolved, the main character is "fondled" by a wind that represents the act of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and at the end of the episode, the white rose disappears as one character narrates the message of the episode.
